Thanks - which kind? Private reserve? They have a couple of blends. I usually don’t care for dark roast as I don’t like the burnt taste at all.
If it were me I would probably start with the private reserve and see how you like it. Or a breakfast blend if they have one.
My wife was the worlds worst for “watering down” her coffee because she hated the strong flavor. She found that she didn’t need to water down the community coffee because it just tasted so mellow.
Good luck.
Mr. Peel and I drink Illy coffee. We absolutely love it.
Two fantasies that continue to abound: gays are an attractive market and appeasing illegals is somehow the pathway to 'hispanic' votes.
.3 percent of the population (giving the most generous of estimates) is, really, nothing to McDonald's bottom line when attracting family purchases. Mom or Dad in the car feeding a couple children, that is the bread and butter of McDonalds; not millennials, not hipsters, not gays.
McDonald's problem is the same problem that a lot of companies have; they disdain their own customer base in a fruitless reach for markets they'll barely ever touch. JUST the after school snack purchases by parents shuttling their kids home likely exceeds every penny spent by gays and totally dwarfs the gay parent market.
Ultimately, the wasted marketing towards people much less likely to buy at McDonalds (ranging from idiotic animal rights issues to health issues, etc) at the expense of parents with kids not only robs them of immediate sales but also means when parents aren't taking their kids there, those kids are also less likely to go on their own as they mature and turn into adults.
